Actress Ji So-yeon has apologized after drawing criticism for uploading a Japan travel video to her personal YouTube channel a day before the March 1 holiday.
On March 2, Ji wrote on social media that she was taking “the many opinions” about the Japan trip video posted in late February “very seriously.”
She said the video documented a trip taken on Feb. 11, but added, “It was entirely my fault that I did not think deeply enough about the meaning of the timing of the post.”
Ji also said she felt heavy-hearted that criticism had extended to Yang Mira, who traveled with her, stressing that the upload schedule and the decision to make it public were “entirely my decision.”
She added that the incident made her realize she must act with greater caution and responsibility, and said she would more carefully consider social context and timing in planning and releasing future content.
Ji uploaded the video on Feb. 28 under the title, “Starting today, I’m a free woman!! (Japan trip with Yang Mira).” It shows the two traveling in Takamatsu, Japan. Some online commenters criticized the post as inappropriate ahead of the March 1 holiday.
